OK, I've been trying to stay out of this as it seemed to be getting out of hand . . . but things seem to have calmed down somewhat, and I've been a little bit confused (not unusual for me!). BUT -- please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seemed as though this blocking wasn't even necessarily by the use of a DSL line -- isn't it blocking by what a company has decided to use as a *name* in their DNS entry (or reverse DNS entry)? So that AOL/whoever is now trying to dictate naming conventions? If so, I really REALLY hate this idea . . . Or have been reading the thread wrong?
